A Fresh Start: Accelerate Fat Loss and Restore Youthful Vitality (Paperback) Review

I purchased this book after embarking on Dr. Fuhrman's "Eat to Live" plan because I desperately needed to change my cooking style.This book is approximately 50% recipes and 50% lifestyle changes and the reasons for those changes.The principles of this plan are also very similar to the book above, and to "Stop the Inflammation Now" by Dr. Fleming.I have reviewed both of those books as well, if you are curious.

The gist of the plan is a vegan diet, adding exercise, eliminating stress and being grateful.Common sense ideas that the author tries to tie together by referencing studies and specific client examples.

The book is full on tidbits of information regarding the health benefits of specific foods as they appear in recipes.If you are well versed in nutrition this information is very basic.However, if you could use a nutrition primer this is a reasonable one.

My biggest criticism of the book is the recurrent emphasis on religion and God.I did not expect a religious tie in to a diet book.

Overall the book is full of information and recipes and serves the purpose that I purchased it for.I give it 5 stars for the recipe content alone.The remainder of the book I would give 4 stars.Since I purchased the book specifically for the recipes the overall rating is a 5.

The Healing Patch Cookbook (Spiral-bound) Review

Ever find yourself backtracking book aisles, lost in an assortment of titles and topics you aren't sure what to choose from? Maybe your mission is HEALTH so you hit up the nutrition section. When you think you've found the perfect book another shows up and looks even more interesting so maybe you throw it in your basket as you still continue to browse books that catch your attention. It may even feel a little compulsive yet you are desperate to learn and better your health. You know it's time to check out when your basket is starting to wear out your arm! You get to the check out counter and dump a pile of books you may never even read and honestly can't afford, especially with our current economy. In the back of your head you are wishing and praying that someone would create a book that has it all, something for everyone.

Wake up your frustrated and foggy heads! The answers to your book-buying nutritional-needs wishes have come true. The Healing Patch Cookbook has arrived and the 2 gals that wrote it are surely angels from Heaven! Julie and Sarah have put together an educational, nutrient dense, affordable and universal piece of brilliance! You can sit down and relax with this one stop shop of raw, vegan and vegetarian oriented recipes that will excite even the most malicious meat eater to fall on knees of glory!

I bought this book for my Mother as a gift since she is slowly transitioning to a vegan dietary lifestyle. She loves the recipes because they are quick and easy unlike some raw recipes that require half your day (and half your pocket book as well due to numerous expensive equipment to assist). There are also special little juicy morsels aka educational tidbits throughout the book which helps the reader learn more about the healing properties of whole foods, etc. It's compact enough to comfortably fit your kitchen counter and beautifully designed to brighten up any room! The cover alone will remind you how important fruits and vegetables are and encourage you to eat more of them. Kids will love it too. Now the whole family can get their fruits and veggies ON!!!

This book caters to ALL ages. It makes a great gift. It is perfect for those looking to transition to a healthier lifestyle. The authors kept an open mind and heart when writing this book. They do not push a specific way of eating or living and leave that up to each individual.CHOICE is clearly as important as VOICE to them. Let it be for you too, The Healing Patch Cookbook will guide you along your journey.

Blessings!

Chinese Medicine & Healthy Weight Management (Paperback) Review

This book is very well researched and yet does NOT come off as a dry boring read. On the contrary, it is very accessible and well thought out. The epidemic of obesity in this country is appalling and it is wonderful that there has now been a body of information compiled to help those of us in Chinese Medicine help our patients overcome this devastating condition. Another nice feature is that it truly is an integrative approach, incorporating the most recent findings in Western medicine as well as recent acupuncture research. There is information that would be useful to give to patients directly as well as more clinical research that will be helpful in treatment planning - whether it be from a TCM, Five Element, or Western background. I definitely recommend this book.

This clever little volume is designed for practitioners of acupuncture and Oriental medicine, but it is written in a style the layperson can understand and utilize.This book combines the best of Western biochemical knowledge about weight and weight control along with everything Chinese medicine has to say about this subject.

Over 50% of all Americans are overweight. The useful information in this book can help these patients who want and need to lose weight and maintain a healthy weight without crazy fads or yo-yo diets. This book teaches effective techniques for counseling patients about eating a healthy, nutritional and energetic diet. It explains how a practitioner can integrate Chinese medical nutritional therapy and Western nutritional science and how to blend NIH and TCM standards for the treatment of overweight and obesity.

Weight Loss: The Complete Mind/Body Solution [Box set] [Audio CD] Review

This has alot of good information!It focuses on Ayurveda, and the principles of the ancient lifestyle.It seems very holistic...but perhaps not super realistic for those of us that work long hours away from home.I like the vibe of the whole thing, slowing down, becoming more aware, working from an angle of balance and prevention-rather than addressing the illness

Lifeforce: A Dynamic Plan for Health, Vitality, and Weight Loss (Paperback) Review

Well, I guess anything worth doing is not easy.This book will give you the tools necessary to rid your body of candida yeast which is the root of a lot of disease we experience in the body according to many health professionals (although not recognized by most drug-pushing physicians these days).It's a good read and full of useful, healthful information.But, to do the candida cleasnse it mentions in the book you have to go to Dr. Jeff's website www.lifeforceplan.com and purchase his supplements to take along with the diet.The program can take 8 - 12 weeks as well with a sensible and logical diet plan included (you have to stop feeding the yeast to kill it).The only downside to this whole plan is the cost of the supplements which are about $576 for the whole 12 weeks or so (go to the website for details).Otherwise, it's a good read and may be worth your time (and money)to do this cleanse, especially if it saves you a few thousand dollars in medical bills down the road (an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure!).

Product Description:
'LifeForce' by Chiropractor Jeffrey S. McCombs outlines a simple and effective approach to preventing and overcoming disease, illness, and other health concerns that has been used by many of the author's patients. The LifeForce Plan is a potent tool for detoxifying the body, reestablishing the normal flora of the tissues, and reawakening the body's innate ability to regulate, balance, and protect itself. It teaches us how to activate the endless life-force potential that resides in every cell of our bodies. The seemingly miraculous results are achieved through a time-proven approach to reversing the ravaging effects that antibiotics have had on our bodies. Though antibiotics are useful, it is their worldwide overuse, misuse, and general application that have produced a devastating imbalance. The LifeForce Plan reverses that imbalance and restores the regenerative, life-enhancing cycle of the body, as the dominant cycle over the degenerative, 'ageing' cycle. The Plan succeeds where other anti-Candida diets have continuously failed, due to key fundamental insights, and it also provides a way to balance the effects of antibiotics when their judicious use is necessary.This is not intended to be a typical diet book. It offers a way to achieve better 'biofeedback' from the body that will enable you to make dietary choices that will work for you. The Plan is a 'bridge' back to an optimal state of health for our bodies.
